I didnt think the screw caps connected to the case with just the ball tbh.

Are these, 0520 and 0510, the same part? Both are listed for the saw on LSE

No, they are different, one large, one small. If only there was a web site that had a better explanation of which caps fit what and where..

Back to the 2511. I swapped the sprocket, suprised to find some rubbish between the socket and worm drive, must have been there since new? Without it there does seem to be some play which may be how it got sucked in there if it wasnt packing from the factory....

I have only used this saw in the tree and being careful not to cut any rubbish that may blunt my chains..

 

The 1/4" .050" carving bars can be used with 3/8" chains but the length needed is 42DL, not 40. As I dont want another spec of 3/8" 10" chains, so I decided it were best to modify the bar and shorten it at the sprocket end. Had to take off a reasonable amount so new adjuster holes needed. The bars are reasonably hard metal, so a decent drill bit is required.

 

These bars have additional slots, for lightening? which could cause chain oil to leak out, so I will need to fill that with epoxy resin. The original TESC bar doesnt have these slots.

Left is a new bar and right the modified one.
